Example 1 — Inputs: Decision = "Which platform should I sell short AI-use guides on first?"; Topic = "Content platforms that accept AI-assisted articles and pay creators in Japan"; Constraints = "Email-only signup preferred; identity checks acceptable only at payout; content in Japanese". A) Verified facts — Tips (tips.jp) allows registration with nickname + email + password; SMS authentication is required at withdrawal, not signup. [Source: tips.jp landing page / terms] B) My inferences — Tips fits an email-first start because signup does not require SMS; discovery may still be weaker than larger platforms. C) Counter-evidence and risks — Weak discovery on a smaller platform can limit initial sales; paid sales on larger platforms may require more setup. D) Ranked shortlist: 1. Tips — fits all constraints; risk: weak discovery. 2. note — strong discovery; risk: paid sales require more setup. E) What I should verify myself before deciding: 1. Current payout terms and fees. 2. Whether Japanese-language AI-assisted content is allowed. 3. How discovery and search work for new creators.
